Listeners this week we're back with Lincy Ayala.

Lincy Ayala is Co-Founder and CEO of BookSloth. Lincy began her career as a biologist, whose love for animals had her working at a Nonprofit Wildlife preserve. Soon after, she re-discovered her passion for design when preparing graphics for the wildlife enclosures. From there she became a freelance UX/UI Designer for Web and Mobile. Lincy has collaborated with projects that inspire other women to pursue tech careers while also advocating for more inclusive work environments.

If she’s not working, you’ll find her cuddled up reading Young Adult Fantasy or Sci-fi books.

This year is the 10th anniversary of Apple’s student scholarship program at the Worldwide Developers Conference taking place June 7-11. Lincy has worked closely with Apple on various occasions, including their immersive Entrepreneur Camp which focuses on optimizing the apps of women and People of Color.

During this episode we talked about:

• Life in Puerto Rico
• Bilingual life-brain
• Doing business in English
• Watching movies with subtitles, it's actually great for ADHD
• Lincy's love for animals
• Changing careers
• How Lincy reads one book a week

I created the 30 Day Tapping Challenge because I know, like me, you have limiting beliefs holding you back and preventing you from moving to the next level. Those money stories reminding you why you're not worthy of an expensive pair of headphones, or that raise you know you deserve. Join me and let's tap for 30 days on these beliefs.
